Just doing the above won't make it part of the Kernel documentation.

It will only be part of it if you explicitly include the file with
the ".. kernel-doc::" directive.

Even if you don't add it at the Kernel documentation, I strongly
suggest to use the kernel-doc tags and format, due to two reasons:

1) If you later want to add a book, there's no need to touch at the
function/struct documentation. Everything will there already;

2) Markus Raiser is writing validation tool for those tags:
	install: https://return42.github.io/linuxdoc/install.html
	lint:    https://return42.github.io/linuxdoc/cmd-line.html#kernel-lintdoc

By using his tool, you would be able to check if a patch is keeping
the documentation documented, as you modify it.

Btw, on several places inside the vsp1 documentation, you're using the
"/**" tag already for other function/struct descriptions.

Mauro
